Top military leaders from India and Pakistan exchanged sharp warnings at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Saturday, bringing long-simmering regional tensions to the forefront of one of Asia바카라s most prominent defense summits, HT reported.
India바카라s Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan and Pakistan바카라s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Sahir Shamshad Mirza delivered starkly contrasting messages during simultaneous sessions at the high-profile forum, which drew defense leaders from across the world.
Speaking on India바카라s recent cross-border military action, Operation Sindoor, General Chauhan stated that New Delhi had redefined its "red line" on terrorism. 바카라What India has done, politically, is draw a new red line of intolerance against terror,바카라 he said, referring to the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed. India has blamed Pakistan-based terror groups for the assault, a charge Islamabad denies.
바카라This operation lies in the military domain and should offer lessons to our adversary,바카라 Chauhan added. 바카라We have been subjected to this proxy war of terror for more than two decades. We바카라ve lost too many lives, and we want to put an end to it.바카라
Meanwhile, in a parallel session, General Mirza warned that continued crisis management without genuine resolution risks spiralling into uncontrolled conflict. 바카라It has become imperative to move beyond conflict management towards conflict resolution,바카라 he said during a panel on regional crisis mechanisms. 바카라This will ensure sustainable peace.바카라
He reiterated Pakistan바카라s long-standing position on Kashmir, calling it the 바카라core issue바카라 between the two nations and pushing for its resolution in line with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
바카라Given Indian policies, the absence of a crisis management mechanism may not give enough time for global powers to intervene and prevent escalation. They could be too late to stop the damage,바카라 Mirza cautioned.
He accused India of avoiding dialogue on Kashmir, stating, 바카라When there is no crisis, Kashmir is never discussed. But it's central to peace in the region.바카라
The high-level exchange comes as relations between the nuclear-armed neighbours have worsened, especially after Operation Sindoor 바카라 India바카라s targeted military action reportedly aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure across the Line of Control.
While global defense officials observed the interaction closely, analysts warned the rhetoric could further strain already-frozen bilateral ties, especially amid heightened regional instability and the absence of structured diplomatic or military dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad.
The Shangri-La Dialogue, held from May 30 to June 1, brought together defense ministers and military chiefs from over 40 countries. But the spotlight this year was undeniably on India and Pakistan 바카라 whose confrontation once again underscored the fragile security balance in South Asia.
